DOJ is Also Coming to NoMa!

It's turning out to be a great week for NoMa. According to Bisnow, DOJ is also coming to NoMa! The 521K lease will go to Constitution Square which is that big lot directly south of the ATF building. It is expected to be completed in 2010, with DOJ employees moving in early that year. As you may recall, Constitution Square is also being scoped out as the site for a Harris Teeter or some large grocery store.

UPDATED: The Washington Business Journal has also just reported the news. Although Bisnow reports the location at 100 M Street, NE, it appears as if the DOJ building will be specifically located at Two Constitution Square at 145 N Street, NE.

johnw: Funny you say that. DOJ and EEOC are two agencies I've seriously considered working for in the past and which I'd like to work for eventually. Good to know DOJ pays well!

imgoph: I don't know how accurate the renditions are on the NoMa website but Constitution Square is supposed to contain five buildings (three office and two residential) and have a 50K sq ft grocery store and 50K sq ft retail so I'm not sure how a setback will work. I'm sure the building will be designed with uber-security in mind but I don't think it'll go as overboard as the ATF. I hope not anyway!

Eckington DC Living

You know, you meet a lot of people who can't stop bitching about DC. But I've LOVED DC since landing here more than ten years ago. So this is gonna be a (mostly) happy and positive blog about living in my new neighborhood, Eckington, and in Washington, D.C.
